2004 Suzuki Jimny 1.3L Petrol · FP04 FTY

The Suzuki Jimny presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 June 2025 at 59,085 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared the test with no defects recorded, and prior passes in June 2024 at 55,761 miles and June 2023 at 52,752 miles also showed clean results. The two failure entries logged on the same dates as the passes in 2023 and 2025 carry no recorded defects, which suggests administrative rejections or documentation issues rather than mechanical faults. At roughly 22 years old, the Jimny shows 59,085 recorded miles, equating to about 2,686 miles per year, which is low for its age. The annual increments are modest: 2,991 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, then 3,324 miles to June 2025. Such limited use over two decades implies light running but also raises the likelihood of prolonged standing periods, which can accelerate perishable component degradation and corrosion even where the odometer stays low. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage Jimnys often suffer from seized linkages and underbody rust where moisture settles during storage. The clean MOT advisories give no warning of exhaust or structural concerns, yet the absence of flagged wear items across the record may reflect test tolerance rather than confirmed condition. Given the duplicate fail-pass pairs on test days, verify the V5C and MOT certificate chain to confirm no suppressed defect history. The record itself shows no recurring mechanical trend, but a pre-purchase check of tyre sidewall cracking and brake disc condition remains sensible on a vehicle of this age and usage profile.
